Comey became the seventh FBI director when he was confirmed by the Senate on July 29, 2013, by a 93-1 count, with Sen. Rand Paul the lone holdout. The Kentucky Republican had threatened to block Comey's nomination, but relented and allowed a vote after being further briefed on FBI drone surveillance policy.
But there are a lot of factors that come into play, and the average debt load varies widely by state. In New Hampshire, where grads have the most debt, the average student is facing $36,101 in loans. Grads have the least amount in Utah: $18,873.
Sadly, it is dwarfed by negative trends over the last 10 years. Student loan debt has soared from $260 billion in 2004 to $1.2 trillion in 2014; average debt jumped from $18,650 to $33,000; and the number of people over 60 with student loan debt tripled to 2.1 million.he latest studies say that 70 percent of college graduates leave school with student loan debt that in 2014 averaged $33,000. That much debt at that age does not go away quickly and the impact of this is being felt in several areas, notably purchasing a home, starting a business and delaying marriage.
